Red Sweet Pepper recommendation

17 years ago

Hi,

I've read some postings here about various Red Peppers (sweet), and though the complaint about many peppers is that they are not very prolific, people seem to say good things about the Marconi peppers. But there are several different varieties of Marconi - anyone have opinions on those?

I am looking for a pepper that tastes like the good ones you can get at a decent supermarket - unlike tomatoes, which I grow because nothing in the market tastes like anything, peppers I like from the market - but they are so expensive, and who can beat the convenience of picking them in your own backyard?

Other peppers I've noted over the last year from various forums are:

Quadrato d'Asti Rosso

Cubanelle

Corno di Toro

Wisconsin Lakes

Red Ruffled

Orange Sun

Carmen

Of course, I have no notes as to why these were supposed to be so great! :)

I'm in Zone 6. Thanks for any varietal opinions you have to offer!
